This does make me feel better about our season next year now that Troy will be in a similar boat to us. Two of the SBC top programs going though a "rebuilding year" while also retaining some skilled players.

The Gnats are positively giddy. They are so sure that they are the new top dog next year that they are taking their sisters out for a nice steak dinner.

No one would understand the perils of coaching transitions more than them (cough...BVG...Summers...cough)

Not that I expect App or Troy to fall off much, if any in the next couple of years, but the gnats better enjoy it while they can. A couple more years of success and Lunsford will be moving on too. Either a P5 program, or the WWE.

They have the toughest conference schedule (road games against the top teams) then any school. They still think the two most talented teams that bring back the most players can't hang because of new coaching staff. Poor gnat fans are in for a disappointing reality check next season

If you could choose to coach at WVU or Louisville for the same $. What's the better deal?

Louisville - I think it's easier to recruit to as an urban school. Definitely advantages to WVU - better fans, more tradition, better mascot name, etc. but you're also in a league competing with OU, Texas, and the nouveau riche Okie State and TCU.

Louisville really only has FSU and Clemson to worry about.

And honestly Clemson isn’t even that good

?????

They have established themselves as a Top 4 Program over the last 5 years Bama, OSU, Oklahoma are the others and only Bama has had more success.
